What's wrong, in plain English
Chrysler is recalling certain Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L vehicles. The blower motor, the fan that pushes air through the vents, can fail. If it fails, the system that clears fog and frost from the windshield stops working. Federal safety rules set requirements for windshield defrosting and defogging, and these vehicles do not meet them. A dealer will inspect the blower motor and replace it if needed, at no cost.
What you should do
2. Contact a Chrysler or Jeep dealer, or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, to have the blower motor inspected.
3. The inspection and any replacement are free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 25V430000.
